The Sony Ericsson mobile phones are the most popular mobile phones in the entire world. The Sony Ericsson officials were able to compress a lot of technology into a small and useful mobile phone. The Sony Ericsson w760a is a phone which offers satisfactory performance and technology into a small, slim and attractive case. This model of Sony Ericsson has a slider design with curved edges.

The textured material and the shiny metal used on this case offers elegance and durability. For this mobile phone you can choose between black, fancy black, intense red and rocky silver colors but we recommend choosing the black model because scratches are not that visible.

The Sony Ericsson w760a has 3.5 ounces weight because it is a small mobile phone. With 4.1 inches tall, 1.9 inches wide and 0.6 inch deep you will not realize that you have it in your pocket. The buttons are very simple, spacious and tactile. The Sony Ericsson designers have decided to drop the joystick because this kind of button presents problems if you overload it and if you break it, you need to change it.

You have multiple buttons on the left and right side of the phone which offer you instant access to your favorite music and pictures and allow you to adjust the volume of the ringing tone and many more. The Sony Ericsson w760a keypad buttons are hidden because it is a slide phone but this is a good thing because you don’t need to press them every time you want to use your phone to make a call or listen to music.



But let’s talk about the technology that this mobile phone offers you. It has a 2.25 inch display which support 262,144 hues is a reasonable screen for such a small phone. The 3.2 megapixels camera takes quality pictures at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. The Memory Micro slot offers you the possibility to store your favorite music, photos, even to record clips until your free memory ran out. This phone has an accelerometer, a motion sensor and supports 3 UMPTS/HSDPA bands.

The Bluetooth connection, PC sync, e-mail support, a file manager and the USB mass storage offers you permanent contact with your friends. Also, you have many other applications such as a vibrate mode, a timer, an alarm clock, text and multimedia messaging, a calendar, a calculator and a stopwatch. This phone comes with 3 Java Demo Games but you can download others from the internet.

But the most important aspect when you talk about a Walkman phone is the function of playing music. The Radio FM, MP3 player and the polyphonic music sound great when you listen with Walkman phone. The equalizer stereo widening, playlists, loop and shuffle modes help you get the best sound quality. The “shake control” offer you a simple and funny control of changing melodies.



The Sony Ericsson w760a comes with a USB cable, a CD with the phone drivers, a Memory Micro card with a total capacity of 1 GB and a set of headphones which offers you a good quality and bass when you listen to music. The battery is very durable because it will keep your mobile running for 3 hours of conversations and 16.6 days in the standby mode. However, this phone is a great one but there is only two things missing: the flash and the self-portrait mirror. These two are essential when you want to take photos into a dark place. But at the price of $129 this phone is a very good deal for you.

Sony Ericsson Elm is part of the sony ericsson cell phones.Use of organic components in mobile industry is not a new concept, but so far these gadgets do not really have stand out with quality and performance. However, Sony Ericsson has proposed to draw attention to the supply of organic products range GreenHeart and presented two new models: Hazel and Elm. Sony Ericsson Elm is built mainly from recycled plastic, and use of substances harmful to the environment was limited, while packaging the product in an environmentally friendly package.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Really positive side is that Elm looks great and offers a wide range of functions. The most important of these include:
Display of 2.2 inches that displays 256,000 colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels
Memory: 280 MB integrated plus microSD card up to 16GB
Proprietary graphical user interface based on Flash technology
Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS receiver with A-GPS, GPRS, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps
5 MB camera with autofocus
Li-Pol Battery 1000 mAh
Dimensions: 110 × 45x14 mm, weight: 90 g.

Available in the colors Metal Black and Pearly Rose, Elm received an attractive design, despite the use of organic components. The casing is made from a shiny plastic which is disadvantage to retain fingerprints, while the back cover is made of aluminum. Viewed from the rear, Elm has a gently curved design, but this does not adversely affect the use of the phone. The display of 2.2 inches has a good quality image, especially given the wide part of the phone. Key block design keeps the usual sony ericsson cell phones design, which more or less reminds us of the first phones of the E series from Nokia. Alphanumeric keys are made of rubber that looks like plastic.

For Elm, Sony Ericsson has chosen to use the classic graphic interface used in most models of the class, so-called Flash UI. However, the benefit of an important update for Elm phone, is relying on the growing popularity of social networking. Thus, you can access through a single click of Facebook accounts, Twitter or MySpace, because each has a particular icon in the menu.

Perhaps the 5 MP is already a standard for a wide variety of phones, but the camera offered by Elm has some major advantages to compete in terms of additional facilities that they offer. In addition to autofocus, there is face detection, detection and camera activation when smiling, rotate the photo and, not least, the possibility to obtain geographical coordinates of the location where the picture was made through the GPS receiver. In addition, macro mode lets you take pictures from a distance of only 10 cm. Regarding videos, they are recorded at 30 fps at VGA resolution.

Sony Ericsson Elm is more than just an environmentally phone. Its true targets are users who, in addition to the positive attitude towards the environment will benefit fully from the features multimedia integration with social networks to communicate easily and quickly with friends, but also a competitive camera.

Which are the latest Sony Ericsson phones? Well… let me start with the XPERIA X10.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
XPERIA X10 is the first Android made by Sony Ericsson that was originally set to be launch on 18 January and now is pushed back to 19 February. With this phone we can really say that communication truly becomes entertainment. This smartphone is truly humanizing the way that people interact with their cell phones. Its dimensions of 119 x 63 x 13 mm and its weight of 135 grams make this smart phone looking pretty good. The size of the display is 4.0 inches, with scratch resistant surface, timescape/ mediascape UI, Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, 480 x 854 pixels and is a TFT capacitive touchscreen with 65 K colors.

The memory of this phone has practically unlimited entries and fields and photo call on its phonebook and practically unlimited call records. The internal memory has 1 GB storage and 256 MB RAM with a micro SD up to 16 GB and a 8 GB card included.

The camera is 8 MP with 3268 x 2448 pixels, LED flash, autofocus and the features are geo-tagging, face and smile detection, image stabilization and touch focus. It also has video camera WVGA at 30 frames per second

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 will be available on white or black, starting with the first half of the year 2010, with an estimated retail price of $ 800. Anyway, it seems to be the most interesting mobile that operates with Android system.

While Samsung was making plans to release the first mobile phone with a 12 MP camera, those from Sony Ericsson, in silence, developed such a product. And they surprised the world when they presented Idou model, the first mobile phone with a 12 MP camera. Unfortunately Idou or Satio as it is also called, is not at the same height in the remaining specifications. The touch screen has a respectable diagonal of 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) and 16 M colors but a resolution of only 640 x 320 pixels.

Idou has the dimensions of 111 x 54 x 15 mm, it has an accelerometer, GPS, media player and radio with RDS. Its storage is on Memory Stick Micro memory cards. Connectivity: GSM quad band (850,900, 1800 and 1900 MHz), HSDPA dual band (900 and 2100 MHz), Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB.



But the camera, besides 12 MP sensor, also has autofocus, xenon flash and LED flash for shooting side at night. It recognizes faces of subjects, it realizes when they smile, and record the date and place at which each picture was made. And in addition there is a secondary VGA camera for video telephony. The operating system chosen by Sony Ericsson is Symbian S60 ed5.

Hardware configuration includes an ARM Cortex A 8 processor at 600 MHz, the PowerVR SGX dedicated graphics chip, 256 MB of RAM, 128 MB flash memory and the cards are really microSDHC up to 32 GB ( 8 GB one is included in the package). The battery is a Li-Po 1000 mAh, enough for 11 hours of talk or 15 days of stand by. Prices starts from $650.



Xperia X2 is another new sony ericsson. Its dimensions are 110 x 54 x 16 mm and the weight reached 155 grams. The LCD display measures 3.2 inches and 800 x 480 pixels with a resistive touch screen of 65 K colors. At connectivity it should be mentioned: GSM quad band (850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz), Wi-Fi b / g, Bluetooth 2.1, Micro USB, TV Out and 3.5 mm jack. And the built-in loudspeaker is stereo.

Inside it has a Qualcomm MSM 7200 CPU at 528 MHz, which has 256 MB of RAM available. The internal memory of 110 + 512 MB can be expanded through micro SD cards up to 16 GB. And head over all it is the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional with modified Xperia interface that is using the endowment accelerometer.



The main camera has an integrated 8 MP sensor, autofocus, 16x digital zoom, LED flash, geo-tagging, image stabilizer, and face recognition. Additionally it can also shoot in 848 x 480 resolution with 30 frames per second. For video telephony it has a 0.3 MP camera.

Sony Ericsson X2 is also a great media player, because knows how to play audio files MP3, WAV, eAAC + and WMA and MP4 video, Xvid, WMV9, H.263 and H.264. It has included Pocket Office, YouTube application and photo editor. It also has a slide out keyboard that helps you even more to control it. The battery Li-Ion 1500 mAh is sufficient for 10 hours of spoken or nearly 27 days of stand by (almost a month).



Another new sony ericsson is the Sony Ericsson Jalou Dolce and Gabbana which is one of a kind phone, made with 24 carat Gold. Its dimensions are 73 x 45 x 18,2 mm and its weight is 84 grams. It has two screens and it’s a limited edition phone. This mobile phone has a 3.15 MP camera with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. It has MP3and MP4 player and a stereo FM radio as well. HSDPA connection gives to this phone the ability to surf the web with speed of up to 3.6 Mb per second. Another thing that women will love is the 2 inch QVGA display that turns into a mirror only if you press a button. The colors for the Jalou phone are Aquamarine Blue, Deep Amethust, Onyx Black and the limited Edition Dolce and Gabbana has the Rose Color.

It has been over a year since the Sony Ericsson W200i model was launched. If you expect this phone to shake hands with the other great phones than you are crazy. W200i is included in the entry-level class phones.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

The entry-level or low-range is the group in which it fits any mobile phone whose technical specifications are modest or even very modest. The entry-level phones will be for an audience that does not want from their phone anything but to make calls, send messages or make any other simple action that does not need too much "brain".

This is the case of Sony Ericsson W200i, which although is classified as an entry-level, it is much smarter than other phones in this class, the phone managing to duel with some mid-range class terminals.

That being said, we now get to test on the terminal. Sony Ericsson W200i is a "candybar" which measures 101 x 44 x 18 mm and weighs only 85 grams. This model is not the most compact phone on the market, but it is quite small. The front side is occupied by the screen, the D-pad and by the standard alphanumeric keypad.

W200i's screen has only 1.8 inches, a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and 65,000 colors. Above the screen, we find the Sony Ericsson logo and the phone speaker. Under the screen, we have the very simple D-pad, composed of joystick, keys corresponding to the submenus Calls and Menu, and under them the keys Return and Cancel (C). When you want to call somebody the Calls and the Menu button change to Call button and the More button for saving contacts, and later, the Menu button becomes the Stop / Reject call button.

Under the D-pad, we find the standard alphanumeric keypad. The buttons are strung on four lines, are convex, and typing a number or a message can be done very easily. Under these keys, we find a Walkman logo. The sides are not loaded with phone control buttons. On the left side, we find a button dedicated to the music player and a microSD card slot. On the right side, we find the volume control buttons and just another Walkman logo. On the bottom side, we find the slot for attaching peripherals, such as headphones, charger and USB cable. The top side presents just the phone's On / Off button and the infrared sensor.

The phone's back side is also poorly. Here we have the VGA camera, and two Sony Ericsson and Walkman logos. Under the phone's back cover, we find the standard Lithium - Ion battery, which in theory, it resists up to 300 hours in standby mode and up to 7 hours in talk time. The SIM card slot is also under the battery.

Although it is an entry-level phone, Sony Ericsson W200i is a Walkman. That means it is a music phone. Normally, such a phone should have a large storage space, but the phone comes with only 27 MB of internal memory. However, for upgrade, the W200i has a microSD card slot, and can extend the memory up to 1 GB, that means it has the same capacity, which many music players still have. The phone's package box comes with a 125 MB microSD card.

The menu is the standard Sony Ericsson menu, with matrix style icons 4 / 3, but this can be changed from the settings in a list style. The phone themes can be changed with the few themes that Sony Ericsson W200i has installed, but there are enough communities on the internet that make themes for these phones.

W200i supports SMS, MMS and even e-mail or instant messaging. SMS and MMS messages are received in a common inbox and e-mails into a separate inbox. The e-mail supports standard protocols IMAP and POP3.

The fact that W200i has e-mail is slightly surprising, because on the connectivity chapter, Sony Ericsson W200i only has GPRS connectivity, and this means a very low speed. It is true that at its "brain" it cannot handle more, but let us say that for quick e-mail checking, W200i can handle it. For surfing the internet, the phone uses the WAP 2.0, xHTML and HTML (NetFront) browsers. It is not recommended, however, such attempts. A man's patience has limits.

We move on and we reach the camera, which has no pretensions of megapixels. All Sony Ericsson W200i can do is to take pictures at VGA resolution of 640 x 480 pixel. You will use the camera in case of "major" emergencies and only when you have a subject in good light and near you, otherwise it is worthless. You can apply effects like black and white or negative to the images. However, W200i's VGA camera can record videos that can be made at a resolution of 176 x 144 pixels or 128 x 96 pixels. Moreover, the phone has the function "night mode" and the effects mentioned above.

As I said earlier, Sony Ericsson W200i is a Walkman. The music player is a Walkman Media Player 1.0 that supports MP3 and AAC. In the package, the phone comes with its own headphones, which play a good quality sound, but not a great one. The speakers are in the same situation, but you cannot ask for more from such a phone. However, the Walkman Media Player has equalizer functions including the famous Mega Bass that all Walkman phones have. The player will automatically sort the songs according to the artist, the album or the genre.

It is clear that this phone will not be liked by a technology passionate, but W200i's buzzing brain will impress you. At how small it is, the phone still remains one of the most intelligent entry-level phones we find on the market. If you are looking for a modest and easy to handle phone, than Sony Ericsson W200i is perfect. It comes in enough colors, so the choice will be more than simple.

However, not many know that Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is the joint effort of two large mobile developers, including those from Sony Ericsson, and the Taiwanese from HTC. The terminal assets can be enumerated on a long list, but among the most special things we find on this model are the appearance, Windows Mobile, the 3 inch touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Sony Ericsson XPERIA measures 110.5 x 52.6 x 17 mm and weighs 145 g, the model being one of the most compact Pocket PC device currently available on the market. The device's screen has touch technology and measures 3 inches. It has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels and supports 65,000 colors. Above the screen, we found the speaker, the light sensor and a camera used for video calls with a VGA resolution.

Under the screen is positioned the XPERIA's D-pad, which is something special. Made from eight physical keys, the buttons are triangular shaped and arranged in a certain way that the separating battlements form the X letter. In the middle, we find the OK central button, which has also the role of an optical mouse (optical trackpad) to navigate through the phone's menu.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA's sides are quite loaded. On the right side, we find the double volume control button and the photo / video camera button. The left side presents the miniUSB slot in which you can plug the charger and the data cable, plus a speaker. Also on this side, in the top corner, we find (hidden) the metal stylus. On the top side, we find the ON / OFF button and the slot for the standard 3.5 mm audio jack.  XPERIA X1 is the first terminal from Sony Ericsson, which has a slot of this kind. The bottom side presents only the hand strap socket.

The phone's back side is occupied by the 3.2 MP camera, with a LED flash and several other brand emblems. Under the metal cover, we find a standard Li-Polymer battery 1500 mAh, which in stand-by mode resists between 600 and 800 hours (depending on the network that is used) and between 6 and 10 hours of talk time. The SIM card slot, as well as the microSD card slot can be found under the battery.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is the first terminal of the SE company that runs Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional therefore the terminal will have the dedicated menu of the operating system. It can be accessed from the Start button located in the upper right corner.

The terminal has a Qualcomm MSM 7200 528 MHz processor, 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM, plus the 4 GB of internal memory. It is worth mentioning that the display of this phone must be calibrated well from the beginning. It is recommended to use the stylus; if not, you will be surprised to see that the touchscreen will not respond correctly to your commands.

In stand-by mode, the screen displays the Windows Start bar (at the top) and the "Calendar" and "Contacts" submenus can be found at the bottom of the screen. Some of the menus can be accessed through the Start button, found on the upper left corner. The user has available: the Mobile Office suite, Calendar, Contacts, Internet Explorer, Messaging, Phone, Programs, Settings and Help menu. Even if you have the Internet Explorer browser, Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 comes with Opera Mini 9.5 preinstalled. It can be found in the Programs menu, where users also find programs like Windows Media Player classic, MSN Messenger, YouTube, or the GPS. The Office suite is composed from Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint and Word, plus the Java, ZIP and Adobe Reader support.

The music player is among the best players currently available. Unlike other smartphones or PocketPCs, the sound played by the XPERIA is very good. The music player supports MP3 and AAC audio formats and the songs can be sorted by album, artist and genre. Unfortunately, the player does not support the equalizer function, but it has Shuffle and Repeat All or Repeat One. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 supports only the MP4 and 3GP video formats. However, you can install an application that lets you play DivX and XviD video formats.

If you got tired of the music stored on the internal memory of 4 GB, you can try the FM radio. As the multimedia menu, the radio is in one of the panels from the user interface. Of course, you need to connect the headphones because, as with other phones, they play the role of the antenna. You can scan automatically for a radio station, but you can manually search for radio stations too. In addition, the phone will show on the screen the selected radio station.

By the time when Sony Ericsson XPERIA was just a rumor, it was believed that this model would come equipped with a 5-Megapixel camera. However, the official announcement revealed that the terminal has a camera of just 3.2 Megapixels. Although it has LED flash and autofocus, the image quality captured does not have the best quality. The user interface of the camera is simple and intuitive. However, one thing worth mentioning is the special feature called Touch Focus. This allows the user to change the focal point of the camera by simply moving it on the screen. On the video chapter, Sony Ericsson XPERIA is doing well and not well. It captures videos at a maximum VGA resolution with 30 frames per second. However, this is not impressive when other terminals manage to capture videos at resolutions higher than 120 frames per second. However, XPERIA also remains the first PocketPC with such a video capture capability.

This model has GPRS Class 10 with download speeds ranging between 32 kbps and 48 kbps, EDGE Class 10 with download speeds up to 236.8 kbps, 3G HSDPA (7.2 Mbps), Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g, Bluetooth version 2.0 with A2DP and a miniUSB port. Surfing the Internet is easy, because XPERIA has the Windows browser, Internet Explorer, as well as Opera Mini 9.5 and WAP 2.0 that supports XHTML and HTML. The data transfer is also very easy, and can be done both via Bluetooth and via USB. The USB cable can also play the role of the charger, but leaving aside this aspect, at the moment the cable is connected to the PC you can choose between Active Sync and Disk Drive. The first option requires you to install some drivers from the CD you received in the package. By selecting the "Mass storage device" mode, the computer recognizes the terminal as a data storage device. The ActiveSync from your CD must be installed for data transfers between the PC and the phone. By doing this, you have the ability to store music files, pictures and movies and whatever you need on the phone. The transfer is fast so you will not grow old in front of your PC.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA comes with a built-in GPS receiver, and the information for the aGPS can be downloaded via Wi-Fi or via 2G or 3G connectivity. In addition, the phone has Google Maps pre-installed that does its job very well, and the screen has a very good visibility because it is big enough. However, the model does not come with a preinstalled navigation system so you need to install one separately.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA is and probably will remain, one of the most attractive and equipped smartphone currently available. The phone gets points for its appearance, the good screen, the full QWERTY (and easy to use keyboard) and, especially, the system applied by the X-Panel interface.

The good news is that in the end, when we draw the line, Sony Ericsson XPERIA manages to collect more pluses than minuses.
